Glenn Sonnie Wooden is one of the most provocative radical thinkers and artists in the Chicago art scene. His works Guillotine and Godspeed, both previously curated by Fugue State founder, M. Woods, directly confront a real more real than real, operating within the slippage of a media's capturing of Blackness, as critic and practitioner of the convex mirror of digital communication.
FUGUE STATE is a new art and cinema festival based in Chicago, NYC, and Los Angeles, embracing radical expression in time-based media.
Programmed by M Woods, multidisciplinary artist, curator, and founder of Disassociative Productions ( www.thedigitalsickness.com ), Phase 1 of the festival presents an entirely independent showcase of experimental and underground cinema screening at The Film-Maker's Coop in NYC, Comfort Station in Chicago, and the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art.
